NPM install error: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

I am trying to install my npm dependencies on Ubuntu 14.04.3 (Linux ubuntu 3.13.0-45-generic #74-Ubuntu) from package.json file. I don't know if it is important, but Ubuntu is a virtual machine. I install dependencies in /tmp directory so it isn't any shared folder or samba resource.

Node.js version: 0.12.7.

Npm version: 3.3.9.

Package.json:

{
    ...
    "devDependencies": {
        "babel-loader": "5.3.*",
        "bootstrap": "3.3.*",
        "css-loader": "0.19.*",
        "del": "2.0.*",
        "extract-text-webpack-plugin": "0.8.*",
        "file-loader": "0.8.*",
        "gulp": "3.9.*",
        "gulp-eslint": "1.0.*",
        "gulp-util": "3.0.*",
        "html-loader": "0.3.*",
        "karma": "0.13.*",
        "karma-chai-plugins": "0.6.*",
        "karma-mocha": "0.2.*",
        "karma-phantomjs-launcher": "0.2.*",
        "karma-webpack": "1.7.*",
        "mocha": "2.3.*",
        "phantomjs": "1.9.*",
        "style-loader": "0.12.*",
        "url-loader": "0.5.*",
        "webpack": "1.12.*",
        "yargs": "3.27.*"
    },
    "engines": {
        "node": ">= 0.12.0"
    }
    "dependencies": {
        "express": "4.13.*"
    }
}

I use --no-bin-links install flag (I need to copy node_modules directory to another NTFS based location).

When i am installing dependencies i have following error:

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
    at emit (events.js:107:17)
    at null.<anonymous>(/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npmlog/node_modules/are-we-there-yet/index.js:14:10)

    at emit (events.js:107:17)
at TrackerGroup.finish (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npmlog/node_modules/are-we-there-yet/index.js:60:8)

Does anybody have any idea how to fix it?

You most probabbly experienced NPM Issues #9224 or #9239.

To work around the issues, you can install the packages into /tmp without the --no-bin-links flag and make sure that you replace the symlinks with files/dirs afterwards. You can use rsync -L to copy the files to NTFS with symlinks transformed into referent files and dirs.
